This is a fun bowl that is pretty versatile and is also healthy. I am always on the lookout for quinoa dishes and this is one of my favorites. This is like a salad, but very filling. Don’t be alarmed at the list of ingredients because they are mostly stuff you already have or can be easily substituted. Feel free to top with your favorite items and enjoy the bowl.
Avocado adds a creamy texture and tofu adds some crunch. Overall a winner in the house. Off to the recipe.
